Fibre Channel Connections
In typical installations, the router may be connected to:
•
Arbitrated Loop (AL) – the router can be directly attached to the Fibre Channel
host adapter in a point-to-point configuration.
•
Private loop (hub)
•
Public loop (hub that is also connected to a switch)
•
Fabric environment (switch)
NOTE: Before connecting the router to other Fibre Channel devices, it is important to
understand the configuration requirements of the environment to which it will be connected.
Failure to correctly configure a Fibre Channel device may impair the operation of the Storage
Network to which it is attached.
